problem in Executing script in ksh

Hi,
I am in ksh.
below mentioned 3 commands I executed at command prompt & got the expected results.
Code:
csh
source csh_infa
<special command>

Now I have to do this in the script in ksh. I entered it as it is.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
 
csh
source csh_infa
<special command>

Now after executing this script it is getting halted at csh command & prompting "%" & not executing next commands unless i type "exit" on prompt. After typing I am seeing error source command not found & special command also not found.

Please help...

Thanks,
Girish K

You are running the C shell not ksh when you execute those commands

Code:
#!/bin/csh
 
source csh_infa
<special command>
